POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS.
cherish the hope that there are variety
of points on which an improvement might be
made on the proposals we submitted to Par

OBJECT OF THE CONCESSION.
at once tell you this and make the con
fession that in our proposal in behalf OF Irish
| landlords we went to the furthest point in
| their behalf and upon Two gr0undsLpartly
| because we knew that they mad been petted
| children of England. who now, NIB it were is
| turning upon them in some degree, and
partly because we wished 10 give
our opponents every indueemeut- for a
| great and speedy settlec1 mt OF the question.

| possible to devise q plan for the safe purchase
| OF estates In ireland whereby the landlord
| will receive perfect security with respect to
| the price of his property without trenching on

| and act for Ireland. without which i fail to
| see how to stir a step toward the adoption of
such plan. lCheers.
HEwING TO THE LINE.
Finally, whilst continually consider

us above all things be careful on
| no account TO depart under attrac.
| ton, seduction or any phrase whatever from
| the substance and reality OF those plans.
| What now look to is the teaching of expert
| ence and events, and would beware OF too
| rapid progress. What | earnestly desire is
| gradual appro ximation Of not only the Liberal
\ ranks but OF the nation at large. We want o
\ good stock OF patience, composure and good
/ humor rejecting upon the solidity OF the
| ground beneath us from which we cannot be
| shaken.
